Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BP p.l.c. issued a third‑quarter 2025 trading statement ahead of results expected on 4 November 2025. Reported upstream production is now expected to be higher versus the prior quarter, with gains in both oil production & operations (notably higher gas from bpx energy) and gas & low carbon energy.

Segment outlooks: gas & low carbon energy realizations are expected to impact results by around $(0.1) billion versus 2Q, with gas marketing and trading average. Oil production & operations realizations are seen broadly flat, with exploration write‑offs around $(0.1) billion higher. Customers & products: customers should see seasonally higher volumes with broadly flat fuels margins; products are guided to stronger realized refining margins of $0.3–$0.4 billion and significantly lower turnaround activity, partly offset by environmental compliance seasonality and an unplanned Whiting outage; oil trading is expected to be weak.

Other items: post‑tax adjusting impairment charges are expected in the $0.2–$0.5 billion range. Net debt is expected to be broadly flat at around $26 billion, reflecting the planned redemption of $1.2 billion perpetual hybrid bonds on 1 September, higher income taxes paid of around $1 billion, and a working capital release. Trading conditions: Brent averaged $69.13/bbl, Henry Hub $3.07/mmBtu, and bp RIM $15.8/bbl in 3Q25.

BP p.l.c. ha emesso una relazione di andamento per il terzo trimestre 2025 prima dei risultati previsti per il 4 novembre 2025. La produzione upstream riportata si prevede ora superiore rispetto al trimestre precedente, con aumenti sia nella produzione & operazioni petrolifere (in particolare un maggiore gas da bp energy) sia nel gas & energia a basse emissioni.

Prospettive per segmento: si prevede che le realizzazioni nel gas & energia a basse emissioni influenzeranno i risultati di circa $(0,1) miliardo rispetto al 2Q, con una media di commercializzazione e trading del gas. Le realizzazioni di produzione & operazioni petrolifere si prevedono sostanzialmente stabili, con svalutazioni legate all’esplorazione di circa $(0,1) miliardo in più. Clienti & prodotti: i clienti dovrebbero registrare volumi stagionalmente più elevati con margini dei carburanti sostanzialmente stabili; i prodotti dovrebbero beneficiare di margini di raffinazione realizzati più forti di $0,3–$0,4 miliardi e di un’attività di turnaround significativamente inferiore, in parte compensata dalla stagionalità della conformità ambientale e da un’interruzione non pianificata a Whiting; le operazioni di trading di petrolio dovrebbero essere deboli.

Altre voci: le impairment charges correttive post-imposta sono previste nell’intervallo $0,2–$0,5 miliardi. Il debito netto dovrebbe rimanere sostanzialmente invariato intorno a $26 miliardi, riflettendo il rimborso pianificato delle obbligazioni ibride perpetue da $1,2 miliardo il 1 settembre, maggiori imposte sul reddito pagate di circa $1 miliardo, e una liberazione di capitale corrente. Condizioni di trading: Brent media $69,13/bbl, Henry Hub $3,07/mmBtu, e bp RIM $15,8/bbl nel 3Q25.

BP p.l.c. emitió un comunicado de resultados para el tercer trimestre de 2025 antes de los resultados esperados para el 4 de noviembre de 2025. La producción upstream reportada se espera ahora más alta en comparación con el trimestre anterior, con mejoras tanto en la producción & operaciones de petróleo (notablemente más gas de bp energy) como en gas y energía de bajas emisiones.

Perspectivas por segmento: se espera que las realizaciones de gas y energía de bajas emisiones impacten los resultados en alrededor de $(0,1) mil millones frente al 2T, con una media de comercialización y trading de gas. Las realizaciones de producción & operaciones de petróleo se ven prácticamente planas, con deterioros por exploración de alrededor de $(0,1) mil millones más. Clientes & productos: los clientes deberían ver volúmenes estacionales más altos con márgenes de combustibles prácticamente estables; se espera que los productos tengan márgenes de refinación realizados más fuertes de $0,3–$0,4 mil millones y una actividad de mantenimiento significativamente menor, compensada parcialmente por la estacionalidad de cumplimiento ambiental y una interrupción no planificada en Whiting; el comercio de petróleo se espera débil.

Otros ítems: se esperan cargos de deterioro post-impuestos en el rango de $0,2–$0,5 mil millones. La deuda neta se espera que permanezca prácticamente plana en alrededor de $26 mil millones, reflejando el canje planificado de bonos híbridos perpetuos por $1,2 mil millones el 1 de septiembre, mayores impuestos sobre la renta pagados de alrededor de $1 mil millones, y una liberación de capital de trabajo. Condiciones de trading: Brent promedió $69,13/bbl, Henry Hub $3,07/mmBtu y bp RIM $15,8/bbl en 3Q25.

BP p.l.c. 2025년 3분기 실적 발표를 앞두고 2025년 11월 4일 발표될 결과에 앞서 트레이딩 성과를 발표했다. 상류 생산은 분기 전보다 증가할 것으로 예상되며, 석유 생산 및 운영(특히 bp energy의 가스 증가)과 가스 및 저탄소 에너지 부문 모두에서 증가가 기대된다.

부문 전망: 가스 및 저탄소 에너지 실현분이 2Q 대비 결과에 약 $(0.1)십억 달러 정도 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되며, 가스 마케팅 및 트레이딩의 평균이 반영된다. 석유 생산 및 운영 실현은 대체로 평탄한 흐름으로 보이며, 탐사 관련 손실은 약 $(0.1)십억 달러 더 증가할 것으로 보인다. 고객 & 제품: 고객은 계절적으로 더 높은 물량을 보일 것이며 연료 마진은 대체로 평탄할 것으로 예상된다. 제품은 $0.3–$0.4십억 달러의 더 강한 정제 마진과 상당히 낮아진 가동정지 활동으로 도출될 전망이며, 환경 규정 준수 계절성과 예기치 않은 Whiting 정전에 대한 부분적 상쇄가 있다. 원유 거래는 약세로 예상된다.

기타 항목: 세후 조정 손상 처리는 $0.2–$0.5십억 달러 범위에 있을 것으로 예상된다. 순부채는 약 $26십억 달러 수준에서 큰 변동 없이 유지될 것으로 보이며, 이는 9월 1일에 $1.2십억 달러의 영구형 하이브리드 채권 상환 계획 때문이며, 대략 $1십억 달러의 법인세 납부 증가 및 운전자본의 해제가 반영된다. 거래 조건: 브렌트 평균 $69.13/bbl, 헨리 허브 $3.07/mmBtu, bp RIM $15.8/bbl 3Q25.

BP p.l.c. a publié un communiqué sur les résultats du troisième trimestre 2025 en anticipation des résultats prévus le 4 novembre 2025. La production en amont rapportée devrait être plus élevée par rapport au trimestre précédent, avec des gains à la fois dans la production & opérations pétrolières (notamment plus de gaz provenant de bp energy) et dans le gaz & énergie bas carbone.

Perspectives par segment : les réalisations dans le gaz & énergie bas carbone devraient impacter les résultats d’environ $(0,1) milliard par rapport au 2Q, avec une moyenne de commercialisation et de trading du gaz. Les réalisations de production & opérations pétrolières devraient rester globalement stables, avec des dépréciations liées à l’exploration d’environ $(0,1) milliard de plus. Clients & produits : les clients devraient observer des volumes saisonniers plus élevés avec des marges de carburants globalement stables ; les produits devraient bénéficier de marges de raffinage réalisées plus solides de $0,3–$0,4 milliard et d’une activité de maintenance nettement plus faible, partiellement compensées par la saisonnalité de la conformité environnementale et une interruption non planifiée à Whiting ; le trading de pétrole devrait être faible.

Autres éléments : des charges d’amortissement après impôt sont attendues dans la fourchette $0,2–$0,5 milliard. La dette nette devrait rester globalement stable autour de $26 milliards, reflétant le remboursement prévu des obligations hybrides perpétuelles à $1,2 milliard le 1er septembre, des impôts sur le revenu plus élevés d’environ $1 milliard, et une libération de fonds de roulement. Conditions de trading : Brent en moyenne $69,13/bbl, Henry Hub $3,07/mmBtu, et bp RIM $15,8/bbl au 3Q25.

BP p.l.c. hat vor den voraussichtlichen Ergebnissen am 4. November 2025 eine Handelsmitteilung für das dritte Quartal 2025 veröffentlicht. Die gemeldete Upstream-Produktion wird voraussichtlich höher ausfallen als im Vorquartal, mit Zuwächsen sowohl in der Ölproduktion & -betrieb (insbesondere mehr Gas von bp energy) als auch bei Gas & niedrigem CO2‑Energieanteil.

Segmentausblick: Gas & niedrig CO2-Energie Realisationen sollen die Ergebnisse gegenüber dem 2Q um rund $(0,1) Milliarden beeinflussen, mit durchschnittlicher Gasvermarktung und -handel. Ölproduktion & -betrieb Realisationen werden weitgehend unverändert erwartet, mit Explorationsabschreibungen von ca. $(0,1) Milliarden mehr. Kunden & Produkte: Kunden sollten saisonal höhere Volumen sehen, während Treibstoffmargen weitgehend unverändert bleiben; Produkte werden voraussichtlich stärkere realisierte Raffineriemargen von $0,3–$0,4 Milliarden erreichen und deutlich geringere Turnaround-Aktivitäten, teilweise kompensiert durch Umweltkonformität-Saisonalität und eine ungeplante Whiting-Störung; Ölhandel wird voraussichtlich schwach sein.

Andere Posten: Nachsteueranpassungen bei Wertminderungen werden voraussichtlich im Bereich von $0,2–$0,5 Milliarden liegen. Die Nettoverschuldung soll weitgehend unverändert bei ca. $26 Milliarden bleiben, was die geplante Rückzahlung von $1,2 Milliarden permanenter Hybridanleihen am 1. September, höhere Einkommensteuern von ca. $1 Milliarde und eine Freisetzung von Working Capital widerspiegelt. Handelsbedingungen: Brent durchschnittlich $69,13/bbl, Henry Hub $3,07/mmBtu, und bp RIM $15,8/bbl im 3Q25.

Insights

Mixed 3Q setup: higher upstream and refining, softer trading.

BP guides to higher reported upstream volumes quarter‑over‑quarter, while realizations are mixed: gas & low carbon energy sees a roughly $(0.1) billion headwind and oil production & operations are broadly flat. In products, stronger realized refining margins of $0.3–$0.4 billion and lower turnaround activity support results, though oil trading is described as weak.

Below the line, management flags post‑tax impairments of $0.2–$0.5 billion. Balance sheet commentary points to net debt around $26 billion, incorporating the $1.2 billion hybrid redemption, higher income taxes of around $1 billion, and a working capital release.

Macro markers provide context: Brent averaged $69.13/bbl, Henry Hub $3.07/mmBtu, and bp RIM $15.8/bbl in 3Q25. The ultimate impact will be clear when results are published on November 4, 2025.

Third quarter 2025 trading statement
 
The following Trading Statement provides a summary of BP p.l.c.'s (bp) current estimates and expectations for the third quarter of 2025, including data on the economic environment as well as group performance during the period.
 
The information presented is not comprehensive of all factors which may impact bp's group results for the third quarter 2025 and is not an estimate of those results. Also refer to bp's second quarter 2025 group results announcement on 5 August 2025 for third quarter and full year 2025 guidance items which continue to apply unless explicitly stated. A summary of that guidance is also provided in the Appendix to this Trading Statement. All information provided is subject to the finalization of bp's financial reporting processes and actual results may vary.
 
bp's group results for the third quarter 2025 are expected to be published on 4 November 2025.
 
 
Updated 3Q25 guidancea
 
●       Reported upstream productionb in the third quarter is now expected to be higher compared to the prior quarter, with production higher in both oil production & operations, primarily higher gas production in bpx energy, and in gas & low carbon energy.
 
●       In the gas & low carbon energy segment, realizationsc, compared to the prior quarter, are expected to have an impact of around $(0.1) billion, including changes in non-Henry Hub natural gas marker prices. The gas marketing and trading result is expected to be average. 
 
●       In the oil production & operations segment, realizationsc, compared to the prior quarter, are expected to be broadly flat, including the impact of the price lags on bp's production in the Gulf of America and the UAE. Compared to the prior quarter, exploration write-offs are expected to be around $(0.1) billion higher.
 
●       In the customers & products segment, compared to the prior quarter, results are expected to be influenced by the following factors:
 
◦       customers - seasonally higher volumes with broadly flat fuels margins.
 
◦       products - stronger realized refining margins in the range of $0.3 to 0.4 billion and a significantly lower level of turnaround activity, partly offset by seasonal effects of environmental compliance costs and the impact of unplanned Whiting outage due to exceptional weather conditions. The oil trading result is expected to be weak.
 
●       Other items:
 
◦       The third quarter results are expected to include post-tax adjusting items relating to asset impairments in the range of $0.2 to $0.5 billion, attributable across the segments. These items are excluded from underlying replacement cost profit.
 
◦       Net debt at the end of the third quarter is expected to be broadly flat compared to the end of the second quarter at around $26 billion including the impact of the redemption of $1.2 billion perpetual hybrid bonds on 1 September as planned, higher income taxes paid of around $1 billion and a working capital release.
 
 
 
a        All impacts influence bp's underlying RC profit before interest and tax, unless stated otherwise.
 
b        Includes bp's share of production of equity-accounted entities.
 
c        Realizations are based on sales by consolidated subsidiaries only - this excludes equity-accounted entities.

Glossary
 
Capital expenditure is total cash capital expenditure as stated in the condensed group cash flow statement. Capital expenditure for the operating segments, gas & low carbon energy businesses and customers & products businesses is presented on the same basis.
 
Replacement cost (RC) profit or loss reflects the replacement cost of inventories sold in the period and is calculated as profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders, adjusting for inventory holding gains and losses (net of tax). RC profit or loss for the group is a non-IFRS measure. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is profit or loss attributable to bp shareholders.
 
Refining indicator margin (RIM) is a simple indicator of the weighted average of bp's crude slate and product yield as deemed representative for each refinery. Actual margins realized by bp may vary due to a variety of factors, including the actual mix of a crude and product for a given quarter.
 
Technical service contract (TSC) - Technical service contract is an arrangement through which an oil and gas company bears the risks and costs of exploration, development and production. In return, the oil and gas company receives entitlement to variable physical volumes of hydrocarbons, representing recovery of the costs incurred and a profit margin which reflects incremental production added to the oilfield.
 
Underlying production - 2025 underlying production, when compared with 2024, is production after adjusting for acquisitions and divestments, curtailments, and entitlement impacts in our production-sharing agreements/contracts and technical service contract*.
 
Underlying RC profit or loss before interest and tax for the operating segments or customers & products businesses is a non-IFRS measure and is calculated as RC profit or loss including profit or loss attributable to non-controlling interests before interest and tax for the operating segments and excluding net adjusting items for the respective operating segment or business. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis for segments and businesses is RC profit or loss before interest and taxation.
 
Underlying effective tax rate (ETR) is a non-IFRS measure. The underlying ETR is calculated by dividing taxation on an underlying replacement cost (RC) basis by underlying RC profit or loss before tax. Taxation on an underlying RC basis for the group is calculated as taxation as stated on the group income statement adjusted for taxation on inventory holding gains and losses and total taxation on adjusting items. Information on underlying RC profit or loss is provided below. Taxation on an underlying RC basis presented for the operating segments is calculated through an allocation of taxation on an underlying RC basis to each segment. bp believes it is helpful to disclose the underlying ETR because this measure may help investors to understand and evaluate, in the same manner as management, the underlying trends in bp's operational performance on a comparable basis, period on period. Taxation on an underlying RC basis and underlying ETR are non-IFRS measures. The nearest equivalent measure on an IFRS basis is the ETR on profit or loss for the period.
